I think bonn's point was that the "expected win %" you see on that page is a calculation. It's not Marc Stein and friends sitting around a table saying "we expect the Knicks' win % to be .426" So it's a little awkward to phrase it as if the expectation is being attributed to ESPN. For instance you can find the same numbers on Knickerblogger: http://www.knickerblogger.net/stats/2007/
That's exactly what I was saying. The expected win % is a statistical calculation that shouldn't leave room to be influenced by any reporter's anti or pro Knicks' attitude.


Do you even know the formula that this calculation is based on? I doubt that you do, and I doubt that it's so good that it should be put on any sort of pedestal above an analysts evaluation.

It's listed right at the bottom of that web page

Is this going anywhere or is it one of those "gay robot" things I heard so much about?

What is the full implication of this formula to you?

xp.W% = Expected Win% - Expected Wins based on the team's points for/against (OE^14/(OE^14 + DE^14)).

The full implication to me is that it looks like a statistical calculation rather than a subjective viewpoint. That's all I've been saying from the beginning.

And my point is that we've performed to or below pretty much all objective and subjective predictions of success. If you don't disagree with that I don't know what this is about.

I can't believe they couldn't make the playoffs even at this point with the 24rth easiest schedule in the league.

Sorry Bonn, I see I didn't handle myself well in that conversation.

No problem! I hope you haven't been losing sleep over the past five months over this!
